In daily driving, we often encounter headlights flashing, sometimes once, sometimes twice. This actually has meaning and has become a customary method of communication between drivers. As a qualified driver, you should master the following light signals.
1
Alert the vehicle in front that the green light is on
Light language: The headlights flash once
Many times when waiting for a traffic light at an intersection, the green light is already on, but the car in front shows no sign of starting. At this time, if you want to remind the car in front that it is time to leave, just flash your headlights.
2
Remind oncoming vehicles to change their low beam lights at night
Light language: The headlights flash twice
What should you do if you encounter a child wearing high-beam headlights while driving at night? It's very simple, just flash your headlights twice to remind the other party "You've hit me"
3
Vehicles in the next lane are forcibly merging
Light language: The headlights flash once to indicate agreement, and the headlights flash several times continuously to indicate disagreement.
During the driving process, we often encounter the situation of vehicles merging. Generally, if we can give way in this case, we can flash the headlights several times in a row to inform the driver of the merging vehicle that it is inconvenient to give way.
4
Warn the car behind you that you are following too closely
Light language: Turn on the brake light in stages
Press the brake pedal lightly in stages to light up the brake lights in stages to remind the vehicle behind you to keep a safe distance and not to follow the vehicle too closely. If the vehicle in front does not warn the vehicle in front, once emergency braking occurs, the vehicle behind is likely to be involved in a rear-end collision, especially in rainy or hazy weather.
5
Ask the vehicle in front to give way & thank the vehicle in front to give way
Light language: The headlights flash once & flash three times "double flash"
If the car in front is moving slowly and you are in a hurry, you can flash your headlights to tell the car in front that you want to overtake and remind the car in front to give way. The road is so congested and the driver in front of you gives way to you. Do you need to express your gratitude? Just flash "double flash" three times.
6
Alert the vehicle in front that the vehicle is faulty
Light language: The headlights flash three times in succession
When driving on the road, sometimes the trunk lid of the car in front of you is not closed, the brake light is not on, the tire pressure is low, etc. How can you remind the driver of the car in front of you? Just flash the headlights three times in a row. In the same way, if you are hit by a car behind you that flashes its headlights three times in a row, there may be something wrong with your vehicle and you should pull over immediately for inspection.
The above are all commonly used light languages in daily driving. If you master these light languages, you can happily "communicate" with other drivers on the road.
